Dutch Side AZ Alkmaar Sign Striker Fred Friday, On A Thursday

Dutch Side AZ Alkmaar Sign Striker Fred Friday, On A Thursday

What were they thinking?!

Az Alkmaar may well need to alter their marketing strategy when it comes to signing players, if their latest signing is anything to go by.

The Dutch side really missed a trick when it was reported they had agreed to sign Nigerian striker Fred Friday, on a Thursday. The player still has to pass his medical examinations.

AZ signed the 21-year old from Norweigan side Lillestrøm SK, fending off the likes of Hertha Berlin and Spartak Moscow to secure his signature. And though they did well to actually land the player, surely it's only right to announce the signing of a player called Friday, on a Friday?

Lillestrøm ackowledged the signing on twitter, but have since deleted the tweet. Meanwhile, AZ have not been active on their social media channels since they confirmed the sale of striker Vincent Janssen, who signed for Spurs this week. That means they may well be able to rescue this whole situation by officially confirming the signing of Friday on a Friday, which would make for great comedic value.

Friday is actually a fairly handy striker in the goal-scoring department too, scoring 28 goals in 65 appearances for Lillestrøm. Here's hoping that Friday is officially unveiled as an AZ player on a Friday.

Come on AZ, we're counting on you here...
